Default Do I need a body shop to fix this?

Adding some side skirts, I had the car lifted a few inches with the Honda jack and it slipped causing some minor damage on the bottom of the car. Thought it wouldn’t show once the side skirt was installed but you can see it lifted. Called a few dent places but they said a body shop would be needed.

Do you agree after seeing the pictures? Anyone know of a good shop by chance? Just need it popped and I can paint it since it’s at the bottom. Not sure if they would need to weld a piece to pop it since the location is difficult to get to.

You may be lucky if this is all the damage. The photo appears to be several feet from the two mandatory jacking positions.

You absolutely need a body guy to do this. Anyone who says otherwise (like this moron ^) is a fool. If you pull on that panel the wrong was, it could warp the rest of the rocker and make it much, much worse. It shouldn't be too expensive to fix. I had the same thing happen to me, and had it fixed by a paint and body guy I've been using for a while in Doral. Let me know if you'd like his info.

Please send me is info to get an idea on the price.

I was thinking worst case, I can use a slide hammer, drill 2-3 holes and pop it out. Then bonds the holes and put some touch up paint since it's at the bottom of the car. After it's fixed, I'm putting a side skirt which would cover most if not all of it.
